Lincoln Bridge State Forest Campground
44.1328, -85.6912
Paddlers and trout anglers will get the most out of it: kayaks slide in easy from the riverbank, and the Pine River runs clear and narrow here. Sites are screened by hardwoods and pines with enough space between them that 9 sites feel like far fewer.
The 20- to 50-yard carry from the parking area is a real gear-haul, especially with kids or heavy coolers. Add vault toilets that reviewers have flagged as dirty, no showers, no hookups, and ATV noise drifting in from nearby trails, and comfort campers will leave frustrated.

Summer is the most reliable window for camping here. Daytime highs typically reach the mid-70s to mid-80s°F, nights cool into the 50s and 60s. River levels settle enough for paddling and fishing, trails dry out for biking and hiking, and wildlife viewing peaks. Spring can bring higher, faster water. Good for experienced paddlers but harder to fish. Fall turns the hardwoods but also brings cooler, wetter weather. Winter closes the seasonal road; the campground isn't plowed, so snow season visits require backcountry skills and gear.
Summer is most reliable: mid‑70s to 80s, river levels good for paddling and fishing.
A very rustic, walk-in state forest campground with basic facilities: vault toilets and potable water from a hand-pump well. No hookups, showers, or modern restrooms; sites are first-come, first-served.
